Either the player's fingers pluck the strings or he or she uses the violin's bow to rub on its strings, thus creating vibrations.

The vibrations of the strings enter the violin's body through the bridge and are transmitted from its base to the back of the violin via the sound-post.

The sound-post is a short wooden stick or peg that is placed just underneath the bridge inside the body, where it is wedged between the front and the back surfaces of the violin.

Thus both the front and back of the violin are made to vibrate, making the sound become greatly amplified.
Sound is produced by a violin when the strings are caused to vibrate. This vibration happens by either plucking the string or running a bow across it.

Sound is produced by ether plucking or using a bow, Before the bow is used rosin is applied to the hairs so when the bow is rubbed against the strings, the strings vibrate, the vibrations go through the bridge into the sandbox where the sound becomes louder then out the F holes. When you pluck a string the same thing happens only your finger is making the vibration making a quicker and quiet sound.

The vibration of your string goes into the viola. Then the "wind cylinder" amplifies the sound.

When the string vibrates the sound is created, once the sound is created the waves go into the viola. The "wind cylinder" or rather inside the viola amplifies the sound.

When the strings on a viola vibrate they create sound waves. These waves enter the viola's "wind cylinder," or rather the inside of the viola. By this happening the sound is amplified.
